Reading and studying in my KJV Know Your Bible and was studying on God Our Father, The Eternal One. Bible scripture was Isaiah 40:28. He is The Lord, the Everlasting God, Creator of the Ends of the Earth!! 🌎 He made it all and He is over it all! We can never comprehend Him or understand Him. But we know that He will always be loving, good, and holy, because He can’t be or do anything else.

Cross reference to Isaiah 40:28 - Genesis 1:1.

🙌 Honor God Prayer:God, You are holy! You define perfection, power, and strength. Only You can offer lasting hope, endless grace, and unconditional love.

The Book of Job, like the Book of Ruth, the Book of Tobiah, and the Book of Esther, are sapiential books that contain an ethical or moral message. And in particular, the Book of Job is intended to show the importance of the gift of the security in God in a world where evil reigns, and that God can allow an evil to bring a good out of it. In a certain sense Job, who is the central character of this book, represents a metaphor for Israel; because many Israelites during the times of exile in Babylon wondered how God's favorite people could suffer so many misfortunes. And as the book shows, God's designs are inscrutable, and the wisdom mentioned so many times in the book for its perfection and excellence, is shown at some point to be insufficient to find all the answers. The Book of Job relates that the main character of the book, after suffering a series of misfortunes, is visited by his friends Bildad, Zophar, and Eliphaz, but despite the dialogues between the participants of the meeting, no precise idea is reached until the arrival of a fourth friend called Elihu, who with his speeches changes the situation. Elihu at the beginning of his speeches presented himself in a very particular way, Elihu introduced himself explaining that true wisdom and not prudence, is a grace from God, and that this grace cannot be acquired either by age or by experience, the gifts are not like the natural virtues of the soul. And so Eliju with these words introduced himself: "I am young in years, and you are old; that is why I was fearful, not daring to tell you what I know. I thought, ´Age should speak; advanced years should teach wisdom.´ But it is the spirit in a person, the breath of the Almighty, that gives them understanding. It is not only the old who are wise, not only the aged who understand what is right" Job 32:6-9. God has a plan, and the spiritual gifts that the grace grants to men such as wisdom or understanding respond to this plan, but it is within men's freedom to live them or not, as the book of Job taught and in particular the character of Elihu.

The Bible set the life of King Josiah of Judah as an example to imitate. Josiah was the successor to Amon, who was assassinated, but unlike Amon who was an idolater, Josiah was an upright and God-fearing man. Josiah tells us the Bible sought with all his heart the ways of God: "He began to seek the God is his father David. In his twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of high places, Asherah poles and idols" 2 Chronicles 34:3. And it happened in the times of this King that during the repairs to the temple, which was in very bad condition, a book of the law was found. Moved by the situation, King Josiah sought out a prophetess named Huldah to give him an interpretation of the events. Huldah gave the King a prophecy, God had decided for the sins committed by the people the destruction of the country. But the seer's prophecy did not end at that point, but she told the King that this would take time to come true because Josiah had managed to postpone the event through his righteous acts. Josiah, Huldah prophesied, would die without seeing these sad facts. This is how the prophecy of Huldah tells us how Josiah appeased God with his devotion: "Because your heart was responsive and you humbled yourself before God when you heard what he spoke against this place and its people, and because you humbled yourself before me and tore your robes and wept in my presence, I have heard you, declares the LORD. Now I will gather you to your ancestors, and you will be buried in peace. Your eyes will not see all the disaster I am going to bring on this place and on those who live here" 2 Chronicles 34:27-28.

Hallowed Be Thy Name

To take God's name in vain, is not just to use His name in an empty way when speaking. It is also a product of actions, for a Christian strives to live a holy life representing God.

The Psalm 115 is a devotional psalm dedicated to the only one true God. The psalm teaches us that there is only one wise and mighty God, and that only he must be worshiped in spirit and in truth, the sin of idolatry is a violation of the first commandment, but not only that, those who worship idols and statues are carried away by ignorance and superstition and abandon common sense, It is true that many believe only in what they see, but that is foolish. Idolatry directs us towards a path in which there is nothing good, a path to nowhere, false gods promise false blessings, what blessing can a piece of wood give us? Idolaters are victims of their own deception. Falsehood is not knowledge. God in the old testament is an immaterial being and cannot be represented by any object, and this is what the Psalm 115 explains to us: "No to us, LORD, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness. Why do the nations say, ´Where is their God?´ Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him. But their idols are silver and gold, made by human hands. They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see. They have ears, but cannot hear, noses, but cannot smell. They have hands, but cannot feel, feet, but cannot walk, nor can they utter a sound with their throats. Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them." Psalm 115:1-8.
